The workshop will begin with a presentation exploring and addressing:

1.  Why is meditation helpful?
2. What is Jewish meditation? What is Jewish about meditation?
3. How do I meditate?
   ​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Meditation instruction will be offered, and participants will practice different meditations. Participants will leave with resources to take home. This workshop is open to experienced and beginning meditators. Registration is required because space is limited.
